3 The Mozart Last Night.

An excellent programme was offered
for the Mozart Dl'tsicdte last evening,
and it was, in some respects, very we'll
rendered.
Madame Burneister-Peterson, of
Baltimore, a fine pianiste, gave evil
dence of her superior execution, re-
fined finish, and firm touch in two diff
ficult solos. She plays with wonderful
precision, and shows from the moment
she strikes the first note that she is
master of the instrument.
Mr. Frank Cunningham sang two
solos. He was i'll good VOICE, and as
usual captured his audience. With 80
popular singer it was difficult to en-
force the rules OF "No eneores allow
ed" An encore was demanded upon
his second appearance, and he was
forced to respond. The demand for
an encore was genuine and enthu-
siastic, but during the long and un-
seemly continuance it was noted that
the noise was made by number OF
young boys mostly in the gallery.
They should be regulated.
The orchestral selections were beau.
tiful but very difficult ; and while the
orchestra Is to be commended for its
,ffort, it was not up TO the heavy work
Of Mendelssohn' charming isAfelusine .
overture. The "Alleqetto" and
Presto Of Beethoven's seventh sym
phony was not 50 well given ss ON 6
former occasion.
Altogether, though, the musical,
was a pleasant one.

had LIGHTS SUNDAY NIGHT.
Riehm ond Can and should Do Bet-
ter with Her Gas Lamps and
Electric Lights.

Sunday night none of the gas lamps
on Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth streets,
from Broad to their northern limits, to-
gether with those on the cross streets
in the same district, were lighted, and
that portion of the city was in total
darkness during the earl y hours OF the
night and until the moon, about 2
O'Clock in the morning, began to show
a feeble light Some three or four
lamps, at as many points in the dark
ened district, were lighted by suffering
citizens, but the lamp-lighter was not
on duty. The Light Committee should
look into this and see that there shall
be no recurrence of such neglect in any
part of the city in the future.
The same condition of affairs existed
last night on the streets named above,
with the exception that there were q
few more scattering lights burning,
lighted probably by citizens.
The police have orders to report a
lamp when it is out, but not when it is
dimly flickering and almost out The
chief lamp-lighter of the city, or some
ether officer well paid for the pur-
pose, ought to be required to report to
the Mayor or Chief of Police every
morning whether the electric lamps
were on the night before of the candle
power required by contract and whether
they burnt with regularity.
Another thing: The majority of peo-
pie in this city believe that our poles
are too high. An experiment should
be made with lower poles. Richmond
people Ike the electric lights. They do
not want to part with them but they
can Justly expect to have all the light
they pay for.

was called for last night at G:30 O'Clock
to consider the resolution adopted ut
the last meeting of the Board Of Alder
men appropriating $l4,00 to cover a
deficit III the gas departments ac-
count.
A great difficulty was experienced i'll

ed Ammons, Bodekcr, Bowden, Con
nor, Cutchins, Farrar, Ferriter, Guy,
Hayes, Hughes, Jones, Kaufelt, Kant

THE ARABIC WOMAN.
Her Passport Returned Here. bat
Her daughter Not Yet Found.


The passport of the Arabic woman
Maria Habib, which was sent TO the
Turkish Consul in Philadelphia in the
hope of finding out the whereabouts OF
some one Of her family, has been re
turned without any information. 1t
reads as follows:
Permission of voyage issued to Ma
ria Habib, born at Mount Liban, Otto
man subject, leaving this city for Malta
with her sister. Alexandria, March 4,
1884. Signed by p Latoud, director
of the Office of Passports, Alexandra,
Egypt.
From the endorsements on the pass
port il seems that Maria landed in Ha-
vana on the 10th of July, 1895, sixteen
months after the passport was issued.
The Consul General of France at Hs-
vana signed it on the oath of April,
1885,, "Good for the United States. .
On the 7th of May, 1886, the civil Gov
ernment of the Island OF Cuba en-.
dorsed it, Good for the United
States"
Maria Habib cannot account for her
wherebouts during that long period OF
time. She says that her daughter sent
her $50 from Philadelphia to defray her
expenses in coming to this country ;
that some party in Alexandria took her
money and put her on vessel, which
landed her in some port unknown to
her She relates with tears that she
lost her husband and three sons in the
war which took place about three years
ago; that she has two daughters living
in Alexandria, Egypt, and one in Phila-
delphia, who has resided there for about
ten wears; that this daughter is unmar-
ried. and when last heard from was in
the employment of Mr.. Blacks daugh-
ter (Mrs. Landsey). Mr. Blacks daugh-
ter is married, and Maria has forgotten
her husbands name.
A committee from the Conference OF
ST. Vincent de Paul, of st. Peters Ca
thedral. will do all in their power TO
find her daughter. In the mean time
the Little Sisters of the Poor will take
good care of her.
The woman complains that whilst
she was in jail she was very badly
handled by some OF the colored women
prisoners there. She says that they
kicked her and dragged her on the
floor, and she shows some marks OF
maltreatment She occupied room
next TO that of Cluveriuss.

night received telegram from Indiana
polls informing him that his elder son.
Edwin J. Fizzini, was dying in that
city of typhoid fever. Yesterday other
telegrams confirmed the sad news, but
stated that the young man was just a
shade better. One of the dispatches was
from the priest in attendance upon
young Mr.. Pizzini TO the effect that he
had received the last sacraments of the
Church, and that if his father wished to
see him alive he had better come on
at once. Captain Pizzini left for In
dianapolis at $40 O'Clock last evening.
Young Edwin J. Pizzini but a few
weeks ago was married in indianapolis
to Miss Carrie w. Pryor, of Washing
ton, ID. G. 1t is hoped that his illness
may not result fatally, and that such an
affliction to his family Y may be averted.
